The one you have dates to the 1940s basedf on the patent number. I just found one at an estate sale so was researching and found you.

I do have several suggestions, however. It might be possible to find the stretcher in old Montgomery Ward catalogues, and it might also be possible (and easier) to find a date through the patent number. In any event, it's a fun piece of art.<br /><br />I'm guessing by the typefaces used that the packaging dates between 1920 and 1930.<br /><br />— MarkMark D.
